Of the 20 throws he made, 19 of them were right on target and the one he missed was the most difficult throw of the day. He added more difficulty to that throw by attempting a jump pass and he still threw a nice ball, it was just a foot out of bounds.rnrnSayin was awarded a 49 out of 50 score which was the best of the day.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648c39dee92e6"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mikehuntley63/status/1669549763786870784?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/mikehuntley63/status/1669549763786870784?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>THE NEXT FOUR</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["364178"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":864677,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Dylan Raiola is the top quarterback in the nation according to 247Sports and it's easy to see why.rnrnThe ball just comes out of his hand differently than a lot of quarterbacks and gets to the receiver in a hurry.

The most difficult throw of the day for all the quarterbacks was the fifth one, a rollout throw to the pylon, and he had to make it rolling to his weaker side and he nailed the throw.rnrnHe was accurate to all three levels and had a lot of zip on the underneath throws. There was a lot of hype about his accuracy and it was evident on Thursday night. Rivals had him as the MVP of night one of the event and in my opinion he was a top five guy on night two.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648c39dee9476"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/On3Recruits/status/1669541727588302851?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/On3Recruits/status/1669541727588302851?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
